Leap Day Update

Happy February 29th!  When we first found out we were expecting a baby in March, I was worried about this day because I didn't want our baby to be born on it.  In elementary school there was a boy with a Leap Day Birthday and (unfortunately) we made fun of him for it since he only had a birthday once every 4 years.  I guess once you are older, it is nice to be a lot "younger".  Our baby girl will be full term on this coming Sunday so we are hoping that she doesn’t arrive until at least after that.  Despite the fact that I am tired and uncomfortable, we want her to continue to grow safe and sound for as long as possible.

Anyway, it has been a while since our last update because we have been busy, busy!  My husband’s sister and family are in town from Germany.  Our daughter is enjoying hanging out with her little cousin as he crawls after her, although she isn’t a big fan of him playing with her toys.  We are working on sharing.  To add to the craziness, we are having our attic finished up.  Hopefully this finishes up sooner rather than later. 

My non-stress test and ob appointment went well last week.  The little one had her active periods and rest periods within 20 minutes so we were able to get on our way.  My blood pressure was a bit increased, so we are keeping an eye on that.


Our meeting with our pastor went well.  We have his cell phone number so that we can call him to have him come over to the hospital for our baby girl's baptism before her first surgery.  We also received a nice blessing from him.  It feels good to have this sorted out.

I really cannot believe that I only have a week and a half left of going into work as I will work from home my last week before the induction.  On Friday we will schedule the induction date!  The bet is March 19 although it could also be the 20th, so we shall see soon.
